Parents,
--
Spelling - Hopefully your child brought home his or her spelling test from last week. Instead of a traditional spelling test, students will be asked to write two dictated sentences that contain several of the words from their list. As the year progresses, we will also incorporate other language skills into these tests (capitalization, commas in compound sentences, etc.). Attached is a "refrigerator" list of all of the spelling for the first five weeks of Unit 1. I will send home similar lists as we move into later units. This can be a resource at home that you can use to even work ahead towards future spelling tests.
CogAT - Tomorrow your child will take their second CogAT (Cognitive Abilities Test). These are a series of short 10 minute assessments that will give us more information about your child's strengths with learning.
2-hour Delay - Please mark your calendars for September 23. There will be a scheduled 2-hour delay that morning for teacher professional development.
